His introductory training included a day of classroom training and a day of qualification firearms training at a range. I would say that the training I received from him was the most thorough and most effective that I have ever received. I am planning to take some advanced training from him in the future.”

“Dan is the best firearm instructor I have ever had! I had training in the army years ago and decided to buy a pistol for personal security. Dan's instruction is great - he emphasizes proper handling, sighting, and shooting accuracy all with safety in mind. His training also includes how to properly and safely draw from the holster in an emergency without hurting yourself or any innocent bystanders. Best ever!”
